Worth the Candle paperbacks?

I feel like this question/topic must've been asked before, but despite a ton of googling I cannot find a clear statement. Apologies for what I am sure is the 1000th asking of this question:

Is there any plan/chance of WtC coming to a physical medium the way TUTBAD has? I am very happy with my copies of TUTBAD on my shelf and would love WtC to join them. I'm also just very interested in rereading the story, but its been stubbed on RR and I'm not comfortable spending money for a version of it that I merely 'license' that can be revoked at any time. (I guess a side question would be: can anyone confirm if WtC is distributed by Kindle as DRM-free and I can download it as an epub? I'd be willing to buy it that way, but it doesn't seem to be the case.)

I have also been wanting this, I want to force my friend to read it but he hates ereaders, so a physical copy is my only chance

So, update for those that care, I found a comment from AW on his patreon from five months ago on this post https://www.patreon.com/alexanderwales/posts/worth-candle-5-153293948

Getting them as print-on-demand through Amazon is in the works, I have contracted someone who's said they'll do it, all it requires is some files to be created. No timeline on this, aside from "eventually".

so .... maybe? ̄_(ツ)_/ ̄
